OATUG Forum Online Speaker Orientation Webinar

The Speaker Orientation covers the expectations for presenting a virtual session at the OATUG Forum Online. We discuss the presentation template, accessing your individual session(s) as a presenter, sharing your slides with attendees, and the format of each webinar. Additionally, we discuss the overall two-week event and your access to the full catalog of educational sessions.

Files should be named the title of the presentation followed by "_PPT" for presentation slides, PPT Notes for presentation with notes, and "_WP" for white papers (if you choose to submit a white paper with your slides).

For each session that you are presenting, please submit a Presentation file and a Presentation file with notes.

Preparing for Your Presentation

Prior to your presentation, please update your OATUG profile bio and add a photo. All of your session recordings will be attributed to your profile. (Please email if you have any questions about accessing and updating your profile.)

Prepare for your session in the same manner as you will deliver it.

Please allot 45 minutes for your presentation and 15 minutes for the Q&A.

Time your presentation and know how much time you will spend on key slides.

Make sure that you have tested your internet connection and audio settings. Please use a headset or phone for delivering your presentation to ensure a high-quality recording.

Please make sure that you have received an email from GoToWebinar with your link for each session that you are presenting. Each session will have a different email and unique link.

If you have not received this, please reach out to

Make sure that all of your panelists/co-presenters have also received this link. They will need their own, unique link (yours cannot be shared/accessed by multiple people).

Please inform us of any presenters that need to be added/removed from your session. (Only the Primary Presenter is visible on the OATUG Forum Online schedule.)

Presenting

Please log on to your session 15 minutes prior to the start time.

Each session will have an OATUG moderator. The moderator will help you get set up before the session, begin the webinar by welcoming the audience, and help to facilitate the Q&A portion.

When the moderator turns it over to you/your co-presenter(s), you can give a brief introduction of the panelist(s) and begin the session.

Sessions will last one hour. We suggest you plan 45 minutes for your presentation and 15 minutes for question-and-answer discussion.

Please make sure to end your session on time so the next speaker can begin on time.

You will be in charge of your slides; the moderator will set you up to share your screen. Please make sure that all background apps, programs that will have pop-ups or sounds, and distracting windows are closed.

If working from home, limit others’ internet use (if possible) during your session broadcast to minimize the risk of reduced internet speeds and connection issues. You are responsible for providing your own computer to present your slides.

Session Cancellations or Substitutions

If you are unable to present, please notify Mike Jones immediately at +1 310.489.4817 and follow-up with an email to .

Conference Registration Information

Primary presenters for accepted presentations will receive only one (1) complimentary (or discounted), registration regardless of the number of sessions accepted.

Co-presenters will be required to pay conference registration fees and must register online.

Media Relations

As a presenter during OATUG Forum Online, you have a great opportunity to generate media coverage for your organization and increase attendance for your presentation by utilizing effective media relations.

Several options are available to you. Consider issuing a media advisory announcing your selection to present at the conference. An advisory summarizes your topic and could include quotes from your presentation, a link to your company website and information about you and your organization.

Another option is to turn your presentation into a bylined article. Many technology publications routinely print articles that detail “real-life” experiences or offer helpful tips to others in the field.

Any of these options can be used in a social media campaign, particularly Twitter and LinkedIn. Tweet about the details from your presentation or provide links to any relevant articles that might generate from the press advisory and/or bylined article. Consider joining relevant LinkedIn groups and share these updates with like-minded individuals. You can engage with the Oracle Applications and Technology Users Group (OATUG) and its members through social networking sites, including:

OATUG Forum Online Publication Rights

In the United States, the federal Copyright Act states:

The Copyright Act protects against copying by unauthorized persons of all “original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression.”

Such works include the papers published in the OATUG conference proceedings.

In order to protect your paper, the appropriate symbol and language must be used. This indicates to whom the copyright belongs.

Protection under the Copyright Act is acquired by placing all three of the following on every copy of a protectable work published by authority of the copyright owner in the United States or elsewhere:

Failure to place these three items on a published work bars legal action for copyright infringement against any person who, due to the omission of such items, believes that the work has been placed by the author in the public domain and thus can be used without permission or fee by a third party.

Questions?

What Past OATUG Forum Attendees Had to Say

At COLLABORATE, I talked with a couple of different individuals at Oracle booths and was able to find out a couple of "bugs" that were the possible cause of our problem. Having the ability to talk directly with Oracle reps allowed me to ask questions and receive answers that could potentially resolve our issues.
